The Thanksgiving Story

The Thanksgiving Story tells about the journey of the Hopkins family from England to America on the Mayflower. It tells of days of waiting on the boat. The mother has a son during the long journey. When they make it to America, it talks about making a community and settling. It portrays the relationship between the Native Americans and settlers as unblemished. It would be interesting for a class to compare this story to more recent accounts of the events that took place.
